Plastaket Manufacturing began in 1950 making baskets for the fruit industry. Because of their quality and understanding of the business, Plastaket was asked to manufacture a juicer for one of their customers. This request required the founders to research the juicing industry. They began to understand the importance of the juicing process in the nutritional value of the final juice. With this newly acquired understanding of the juicing process and engineering expertise they developed and manufactured the first Champion Juicer in 1955.

Plastaket Manufacturing’s focus on producing only juicers and on building the best juicer resulted in a juicer that is universally recognized as the most durable, efficient juicer on the market.

Since 1955, many juicers have come and gone from the market but the Champion Juicer remains the gold standard of the industry: the most durable, heavy-duty juicer and still the only US-made juicer on the market.
